It tears us up every time we hear him drawl that Southern drawl, and we’ll have that opportunity once again: Levon Helm returns to New York’s Beacon Theatre on March 7th and 8th, about one year removed from last year’s awesomeness.
Interestingly I’ll be at the Beacon this evening, in what can only be described as a truly underrated night of music in the Large Apple: We’ve got Andrew Bird at the Beacon, Ween at Terminal 5, Cold War Kids at Webster Hall, Lou Donaldson and Lonnie Smith at the Village Vanguard, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals at the Highline, The Breakfast at the Lion’s Den and a handful of other acts. So if you’re hangin’ in tonight, youse got some serious ‘splainin’ to do.
Tickets for the Levon Helm Band, by the way, go on sale Friday, December 7th at 10 AM through Ticketmaster only. That last part is weak…

go levon!
He’s also playing the Town Hall Monday morning for Imus’s return to the radio. The show is from 6-10 am but who knows how many tunes they’ll play.
If you are looking for something nice for XMAS: his new album Dirt Farmer is a return to form.
Oh how I wished I could have made myself two to see Andrew Bird and Ween, but alas… I am but one.
Will you please write a review of the Andrew Bird show? Cherries on top!
